The Group’s sustainable
development is grounded in
its social performance
Within a constantly changing economic and competitive
environment, the Group prioritizes the increased
qualification and mobility of its employees through a
strategy based on the forward-planning of jobs and skills,
within the framework of a high-quality social dialogue. The
issues of non-discrimination, diversity, equal opportunity
and health and safety in the workplace are at the heart of
the Group’s corporate social responsibility commitment. It
is on the basis of these common values that Air France-
KLM is building an original one Group, two companies
business model.
Developing employee mobility and skills
Air France-KLM is pursuing its policy of sustainable
employment in France, the Netherlands and elsewhere in
the world. In order to achieve this objective and prepare for
technological and organizational change, the Group works
to promote the employability and mobility of its employees.
In 2007, in addition to modules dedicated to executives,
the KLM Academy, KLM’s in-house training center, added
project management and personal effectiveness modules
to its management training program. In addition, at KLM
each division offers a range of different vocational training
courses to all its employees.
Air France invested around 270 million in its training
program. This figure represents over 10% of the payroll
and is significantly higher than the company’s obligation
under French law.
Promoting diversity across the business
Air France-KLM’s commitment to promoting diversity and
ensuring equal opportunities for all its employees has been
formalized in a Social Rights and Ethics Charter. The 2nd
Air France professional gender equality agreement for the
2006-09 period defines the key performance indicators for
the action to be taken, enabling progress to be measured.
KLM commits to professional gender equality through the
promotion of women into strategic roles. Hence, within
ground staff, 21% of management and 5% of senior
executive positions are occupied by women. Moreover, in
order to achieve a better balance between everyone’s
professional and private lives, KLM authorizes the
